Shucks, why dont you say "Nice to see you can defend a nun, or are you one too"?

As pointed out earlier, she quotes both even-handedly. (I know "no one"'s talking about Mother Teresa. Glenn wouldnt have made news with you if he had, would he?)

Did you ever get around to reading a transcript of what Anita Dunn actually said?

Yup, that "freedom of speech" business is a pret-ty slippery slope. I think some communist snuck it in when The Founders werent looking.

Communism wasn't around in the time of the founding fathers. Freedom of speech isn't a communist idea look what china did to it's protesters in 1989 they shot them and ran them over with tanks. Think about that when your freedom of speech is gone.

Why do you keep obsessing about the Mao part, and not about the Mother Teresa part? As you know, she quoted both and said they were her "two favorite philosophers."

Is it because Glenn told you to panic -- Dunn = Mao! -- or what?

Did Atwater, Gingrich, Bush and Rove quote Mother Teresa half as much as they quoted Mao? Maybe in your research you could find that out.

I told you quoting and liking are two different things.Mother Teresa is not the subject. Why do you keep bringing her up. Is this your way of justifying a communist or your way of trying to deflect?
